The steering on my B 2150 has suddenly loosened up to the point where there is 3-4" of free play. The arm coming out of the steering box responds to small movements of the wheel but barely moves. Also the steering column seems to have come loose so that it can be wiggled around a bit.
I tried tightening up the nut connecting the wheel to the linkage, but no luck. Worse yet I can't really remember what it is supposed to feel like, just know there has been a change. The steering still works, but it feels funny going straight when the when the wheel is crooked. Is is safe to keep using it like this?
I thought, maybe the hydraulic fluid is low and checked. The darn stuff is so clear that it was hard to tell but I think it is ok. Checked the linkage under the tractor, but with the low clearance banged my head on a metal plate and got a gash next to my eye for the trouble!
If any one has any ideas it would be much appreciated.
PS. 59 days and counting no rain here in Santa Barbara. Not complaining yet, but this is supposed to be winter!
